Queen Victoria will be sixty-eight years
old on the oath of May next and, Dec uOle2te,
will celebrate the fftieth anniversary of her
accession TO the throne on the goth of the
following June. Her health is said to be
breaking, and doubts have been expressed
as to whether she will live to the date of her
proposed jubilee. but probably these are not
well rounded. Should she die to day, but
three of her predecessors would have reigned
longer than she. The longest reign in the
history of England is that of ber grandfath-
er, George III, 1t lasted ffty-niHe years.
He asceuded the throne in 176O and died in
1920. Henry III, who died in 1872, reigned
fifty-six years. Edward III, in the next
century, rei2ned fifty years. T re II, xt long
est reign previous to the prese .t is that of
Elizabeth, which lasted fOuriy-fotr years.
Her age was a remarkable one. Iulelectu-
ally there is none more so in tne rec
ords Of the world, but rs for material
growth England has never known such an
era as that of Victoria. Nor has there been
a peaceful reign wherein there has been
such "a marked political advancement. 1t is
a season for Democracy to celebrate rather
than Monarchy. The aristOcraay had virtu-
ally all the power when it be gan. Now the
sceptre Is practically in the hands uG the peo-
pie.
